[Chicago is 6 hours behind, it was 1500 which is 2100 GMT, minus 0530 is a hard thing to do when you're jetlagged and struggling to keep ...

... struggled for 2 hours on 2 sudoku puzzles (my first ever). I made notes: 1:30 pm: Wheels up, rising over Israel...there's the Dead Sea...is that Jerusalem? 2:30 pm: Babies, babies, babies...they hear each other and it's going in rounds. 3:00 pm: A man opens an overhead bin and a cane falls on the man with the comb-over below. I'm sure it hurt, but the guy makes a much bigger deal out of it than necessary. Whiney. 3:30 pm: The really old ...

... wind up waiting for about 30 minutes to have it all worked out. It's not the wait that got me, it was that the agent forgot to sign & stamp the cover sheet that actually "activates" the carnet. If I didn't have my handy cheat sheet, and realized that he missed a step, I would've most likely run into problems with Hungarian Customs. Not fun.

... began to head home. Kevin had a nice buzz and got very upset by the amount of beer remaining in the kegs. Thus the keg stand competition was born. I have no idea who won but about 10 of us participated (myself and Jody included). Then things got really rowdy with a dance party, karaoke, people sitting on each other and other debauchery.

... Eve with Audrey. (United we stand!) 2. Climb more. I have not gone climbing in almost 4 years, and that is just wrong. Mostly this is due to the knee injury, which plagues me no longer. I took up diving because it was easier on the knees, but I find I much prefer this sport to scuba diving.

... mom) and Mike (Jess's boyfriend)waiting for her, so I thought I'd say hello to them and stay with them until my dad came. But as I start walking over there, Mike moves to the side and there was Kevin!!!!! He had surprised me by being at the airport when I got home!! He was in Florida for Spring Break with the baseball team because of a tournament they were playing in and he told me his flight didn't get in until late Saturday night.
